Sea-sides have always enchanted me, I don't know why but there is something in that combination of white sand, unlimited expanse of water & waves running up and down the beach that brings an immediate smile as soon as I reach such a place.

Tonight, I was at the beach at ECP for few hours, we reached only after 10 in the night, but dark of the night only added to the charm of the sea. A little walk by the beach took me to a rocky ridge and as I sat at the far end of the ridge and stared at the dark sea, for a while I just forgot about everything else in the life. It's such a pleasant experience when we can just get away from concrete high rises & neon-decked shopping malls to places like these. ECP, from what I have heard is actually a very crowded place on holidays during the day but may be we just chose the right hour today. There were not many people around at that hour and whoever was there was wrapped away in the dark of the night. As a result, we were left with just a cool breeze and waves trying to run up the rocky ridge. It was such a joy, those moments. I could have actually sat there all night with some music playing in the background. I can still hear sound of those waves as they run up to the shore and then run back after kissing the sand. It's a charming game they play. While sitting there, for a moment my thoughts wandered to asking myself, what is it in a sea that makes sitting there such a joyous experience but soon I decided that I shouldn't adulterate those moments with questions and reasoning, and so I left myself to enjoy those pure moments of bliss , moments of ease and moments of peace.

And that's how I will end this post today - no questions, no answers but just a smile :-)
